Wowhead Weekly #117 and Introducing the Wowhead Shop

Wowhead Weekly is back with Episode #117 and we've also got details about the new Wowhead Shop launched this week.

Wowhead Weekly #117

Wowhead Weekly is a World of Warcraft podcast with Wowhead Site Manager Perculia and Video Manager TradeChat where all the recent Blizzard news and Wowhead developments are discussed. You can subscribe to our YouTube Channel to see every episode. We also livestream each episode Friday afternoons, starting at 6pm EST, on twitch.tv/wowhead.

Wowhead Shop

The Wowhead team would like to announce the launch of the Wowhead Shop - a place where you can find all of Wowhead's unique discount codes as well as curated lists of gaming items which provide a kickback to Wowhead upon purchase. You can find the "Shop" link on the navigation bar on the top of any page on Wowhead.

We would like to add other offerings to the Wowhead Shop page over time, such as Wowhead-themed apparel and affiliate links to other types of products like collectible figurines. Let us know in the comments what you'd like to see!

What is Amazon Affiliates?Amazon Affiliates is a program that allows sites to link directly to items on Amazon for purchase. If someone visits one of the links and purchases an item, Wowhead receives a small referral fee as a result. This is a form of alternative revenue that we hope takes off and replaces some of the dependency on traditional (and randomly generated) advertisements for revenue. In addition, Wowhead Staff curates the items directly so we have complete control over what is displayed on the shop page.

As we refine the system, we will also add affiliate links and deals unique to various European countries to help our international audience.

Non-Premium users may periodically see "Deal of the Day" announcements as well. The staff will pick one gaming-themed item (earlier this week we had a Blizzard art book, for example) and create an text announcement linking to that product. All users can dismiss that particular "Deal of the Day" announcement by clicking the red X in the top right corner. Dismissing this announcement will not affect your ability to see other announcements Wowhead runs, such as notifications about holiday guides.

Note: the thumbnail for the video may display #116 instead but we're working on getting it updated soon to say 117.

Does the affiliate stuff also work in europe?Wouldn't want to order stuff from the US because of the customs fee. ;)

As a result of user feedback we added Funko Vinyl Pops as a separate section today for those interested.
